The Seattle Seahawks will have their first losing season since 2011 and lost to the Chicago Bears on Sunday despite facing a third-string quarterback.

The Seahawks were leading by 10 points at halftime and by the same margin in the fourth quarter.

Pete Carroll admitted he has to do a better job as head coach. 

"That was about as disappointing of a loss as we've had," Carroll said postgame. "We were in control in so many ways in that game to go win it and put it away; we just never did and let them stay alive, and they found a way to make their plays. We had to do some stuff to give them that opportunity, and they took advantage of it, and give them credit. They've been struggling all year too, and it's a big win for those guys.

"I feel like I have to do more. In a time like this, I feel like I've got to find ways to help our guys more so that we don't get in a situation where we even give them a chance."
